It takes about a week to make a single jellybean.
You've probably never thought too hard about it, but the entire process takes six to ten days, depending on the flavor. First the "jelly," or sugar syrup, is boiled, mixed, and left to set. Then it's piped into tiny cornstarch molds and cooled until it's time to add the outer layer. The jelly centers are then put into large rotating drums, where sugar, flavoring, and color are slowly added to form up a protective shell around each one.

This is why we should think hard XD
